Authorities in Connecticut are hoping to find the owner of a Massachusetts dog found 70 miles from where identification says it's from. The East Windsor Police Department posted two pictures of the dog, which appeared healthy, on their social media page Thursday afternoon. Police said the dog had a chip in it that identified its owner as a man from Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Police said they weren't immediately able to get in contact with the dog's owner. It wasn't immediately clear how the dog from western Massachusetts ended up in the Connecticut town south of Springfield. Authorities asked anyone who might have contact information for the owner to reach out to the East Windsor Animal Control at 860-292-1962.The Connecticut Post reports another missing dog who was found earlier this year had also traveled an extensive distance.Lexi, a yellow lab-mix who went missing from Wilton in early December 2020, was found on Jan. 17 in Stamford after traveling through four towns over 42 days, spanning about 100 miles.
